GrizzlyStik Adcock
« on: October 06, 2009, 05:34:00 AM »
Anybody know anything about the new Grizzlystick Adcock?

  http://www.alaskabowhunting.com/GrizzlyStik-Adcock-Bow-P209C52.aspx  

I haven't seen it mentioned here and I have searched but not found anything.  

There are some details on the link but does anybody know any more about the project?

Seems to be a lame marketing ploy to me.

its a new design by O.L. Adcock.  the limbs will be different from his original acs design and those of  A.H. Archery.  in other words a whole new beast.  it will be designed to shoot a hunting arrow (10 gpp) 200fps.  or at least that was their goal.  there is carbon in the limbs as well as the riser.  they are in the final stages of design and testing, and it will be available this winter.  price tag will be somewhere around $1300.  call ed at alaska bowhunting supply for any info.

Well regardless of the marketing if OL designs it the bow will be a good one.Way out of my price range of course but hope to see and hear one shot one day.

No worse a marketing ploy than the Ashby broadheads or the Tred Barta Bow/armguard/pack/blunt.  

It's way out of my price range, but if OL designed it the thing is really going to shoot an arrow!

Hmmm not sure why it would be a marketing ploy, as others have said if it's being done with the help of O.L and I doubt he would risk his reputation on such a thing.

Will keep an eye on it, but the price might push it past what I can afford.

I believe you can see some video of it in the testing phase on the alaskan bowhunting website.

If it is as good as the A&H it will be another winner-but why wait? And isn't this one being made in Asia?

It's not really OL selling the bows from what I can see. Made by Win and Win and sold through ABH.

Sounds like it's gonna be sweet.  It sure is a shame that our fine designed USA products have to be made elsewhere.   :(   I guess we are all guilty of trying to save a few dollars.

I'm sure it will be a good bow, just like I'm sure the Ashby heads are great broadheads. Are either of them worth the price you pay for them? Well that depends on the individual. As for me, no way!

I thought things were built in Asia to keep costs down. I wonder how much they would cost if they were built in America?

Ed should take part of that as a compliment.  He is THE single best marketeer in the archery industry.

Ed is beyond-talented at marketing and could sell the proverbial ice cube to an eskimo!

$1300 is no more than most of the high end bows cost, they are all that much or more. The Adcock ACS limb design is proven and no matter who makes it if the quality control is good it will be a great bow. The design has a paten for a reason.

Danny A&H Archery owns the ACS patent.The bow Alaskan Bowhunting is building will NOT be an ACS bow.Just wanted to clear the confusion on that as John Harvard has already done in another thread about this bow.
